ssl joomla https

After installing the SSL certificate on your server, configure your Joomla settings to force SSL on the entire site. Visit the admin panel. Go to System > Global Configuration. Navigate to the Server tab. Set the Force SSL option to Entire Site. Save settings.




However, this can also be done by editing the .htaccess file of the site, which is a bit complex than the built-in method.

And its all done. Youve just enabled HTTPS on your Joomla site. You may get some pages with mixed contents (menus, images etc.) with old HTTP based URLs. You can manually fix this issue by adding the new secured (HTTPS) links to these fields.

Then go to your .htaccess file and add these lines to the end of the file:
:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
